Encounter-BASIC-version-

About

Encounter is a text adventure game released in 1983 by Severn Software for multiple 8-bit computers, including the Oric 1 and Atmos; the original was written entirely in BASIC and sold on cassette tape. This repository preserves snapshots of BASIC source code recorded across a 19-episode YouTube series called 'Upgrade Time,' documenting one developer's early work improving the original 1983 Oric text adventure Encounter. The project's continuation — a from-scratch rewrite in C and assembler — was moved to a separate repository once work restarted.

History

This repository is a historical record of source-code snapshots taken during a 19-episode YouTube devlog series ('Upgrade Time') documenting incremental work on the original BASIC code, before the project restarted from scratch in C and assembler under a separate repository.

Additional notes

Repo note

The project was split into two repositories partly because GitHub kept classifying the newer C/assembler rewrite as BASIC due to these earlier source snapshots existing in the same history.
